Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

My battery has drained as i lefton my rear fogs by accident and now the car wont even jump start, i want to go and get another battery but im afraid i cant find the code as iits worn off and in japanese.

 

Please could someone give me the correct code for the J-spec version battery and an idea of where to get it,

 

Many thanks

 

Mark

yep, I've got a Halfrauds one too. It's even got a dinky handle :cool:

 

Dinky handle or not they are still bloody heavy to lift, I turned battery fitting into a two woman job one cold winter morning as I couldn't lift it and put it into the little sleeve that holds it, at the same time. My mum was quite pleased with herself as she'd never helped fit a battery to a car before!

turns out it was the jump leads that were faulty, brand new as well. Dont make um like they used to

 

You may still need a new battery, I made the mistake of jumping my car and thinking it would be fine , two days later it was as flat as a pancake again :mad:

Now at this point I could make a 'tsk, feeble women' comment, but what with you being a fellow Aerotop owner n all...

I wouldn't have taken offence, I have the strength of a daisy.

I've gotta change my battery soon.

I got a Halfrauds calcium one, sounds pretty good (bloody expensive enough!!!!).

 

 

One question, will it break if I just unplug and replug the next one?

 

I've been told the alarm (Laserline 291) will not go off if I deactivate it (with the button), and hopefully it won't reactivate itself before I do the job!

 

But I'm worried about the ECU etc., any tips? Or just straight swap them and stop worrying?

Halfords do sell a battery that has the correct terminals for a Jspec, they've just given you the wrong one. You want a HCB005 (or HB005 for the non-calcium one). It's down on their list as fitting a Scooby or something.
